ABM Basic Computer Training: Empowering Through Digital Skills

The African Baptist Ministries (ABM) Basic Computer Training is an initiative designed to bridge the digital divide by offering foundational computer skills to individuals from marginalized communities. This transformative program aims to empower participants, especially women from Africa and Asia who have faced gender-based violence and cultural barriers, by equipping them with essential ICT skills that open doors to new opportunities and independence.

Why Basic Computer Training Matters

In today’s increasingly digital world, access to technology and the ability to use it are critical for personal and professional growth. Many individuals, however, are left behind due to lack of access or skills. The ABM Basic Computer Training seeks to address this gap by providing hands-on training that builds digital literacy, fosters confidence, and ultimately enhances employment opportunities.

  • Job-Oriented Training: The program integrates digital skills training with practical applications that enhance employability, helping participants create resumes, apply for jobs online, and manage tasks digitally.
